CHAPTER: 6 Where were you?
Previous at the Malfoy Manor.
Mother sorry to rush u but , where is the boy? his right behind you over there in the garden … my heart started beating fast as I turned around , the sun shone of the top of his platinum blond hair his skin was a bit tanned not the pale skin I have .sure signs that he speeds allot of time outside, the little boy came running at high speed towards me my mind still trying to process what it is that its seeing he did look like me ,the little boy stared up at me with a curious look on his face but joy in his eyes ,his eyes were a bright sky blue with a hint of grey in them ,the corner if his lips twitched up as a smirk like smile formed ,dear Merlin I have a son .
NOW.
MY heart skipped a beat as the little boy looked right into my eyes as I saw myself reflected back in his blue eyes and called me something that I never thought I would hear directed at me nor have I ever said it to my own father, DAD.
My mind shut down as I opened my mouth but nothing came out, I was completely overwhelmed, they was no denying that this little boy was my son, I could feel the connection the moment he looked into my eyes but why didn't I know I had a son? , whose his mother? Why didn't she tell me? Why did she hide him away from me? What led this little boy here, what did the mother do for him to run away from her?
Questions kept on running their way through my head with no answers. I looked at the boy who was now looking at me with a confused look on his face. I realised I was staring at him the whole time my mouth still open and with no words come outing I must have looked like a fish out of water ,I cleared my throat and tried to get my mind to focus on forming a sentence .
HEY mmm buddy how did u sleep? I raised an brow at the sound of my own voice it sounded like someone had their hands around my neck ,but the little boy seemed to not have noticed as him just smiled at me and replied .with a joyfully voice .
I waited up for you last night but I got tired and fell asleep gran cissa said it's not good to stay up all night.
Draco raised a questioning eye brow towards his mother and mouthed cissa?she just gave an encouraging smile to her son who seemed to not know how to handle himself around the child.
Scorpius was in totally wow ,he had imagined how his father would look like, was he tall or short did he have the same eyes as him or where they like his mothers ,did he look like his father his mom told him on many times whenever he got in trouble that he was just like his father . when he woke up the next morning he looked around the house for his father but the place was so big he got lost ,one of the house elf's had found him and took him to his grandmother ,gran mam cissa told him that his dad was still sleeping , that he shouldn't disturb him so they went outside for breakfast the garden was beautiful Scorpius thought the sky looked so blue and they were beautiful birds flying around then he noticed it on the far distance a beautiful peacock covered in wavy blue lines that went down to its tail it had spackles of bight pinks , greens and oranges . It was walking feather away from him he wanted to see it.
Grand mom cissa can I go see the peacock ,please I have never seen one up close mom always say to stay a safe distance away from animals every time we went to the zoo.
Narcissi malfoy looked at the little boy who looked back up with puppy dog eyes that you could not say no to she did wonder what a zoo was but decided to let the boy go off.
The peacock kept on running away from him as he chased it around ,the back door leading to the garden opened up and a tall man who had white snow hair walked out Scorpius knew from the moment he saw him that it was his father ,he walked over to his grandmother and had his back to him .Scorpius started running towards him ,he couldn't believe it he was finally going to see his dad he had some many questions to ask him ,and then his father turned and looked at him as he was still running towards them. When he reached he stared right into his father's eyes .DAD… he didn't even realise he had called him that but he has always wanted to say that .
But his dad kept on looking at him with his mouth open he did look a bit funny, he looked over to grand mam cissa who just smiled at him .maybe his upset that I disturbed him thought Scorpius as his father kept on looking at him as if he couldn't believe his eyes.
Then he smiled .HEY! Buddy how did you sleep? His voice sounded funny but Scorpius let it go. I waited up for you last night but I got tired and fell asleep gran cissa said it's not good to stay up all night. So I want to bed.
And she right about that. Replied Draco who still didn't know his sons name.
I couldn't believe it that I was standing there talking to my dad he looked like a prince from one of the fairytales mom reads to me about. His eyes were lighter than mine a different colour maybe but he look so cool his hair was also lighter than mine it almost looked white.
The four your old remembered what he was dying to ask his father once he met him .Dad why don't you come to my party?
Draco was lost he didn't know about the party nor what the boy was talking about ,but lucky him the boy kept on talking ,he really needs to learn his name .
Mom said you where too busy to come that's why you sent me the latter but I ran away before mom could read it to me .
Draco was beyond shocked at this point, firstly he didn't not write any letters to send to a son he didn't not know about which meant the mother has been lying to her son about his father, what kind of woman would do that to her own son.
Yeah buddy,'' I really need to know his name I cant keep calling him buddy'' thought Draco as he stared at the boy who was looking at him with enthusiasm in his eyes drinking up everything Draco said or did as if it meant the world to him.
I was really busy with work am sorry I didnt make it I promise I never miss another party again.
Draco had never made such a promise to anyone before ,he just met the boy a few minutes ago but he already felt like protecting him and making him smile he wanted the boy to have the world and not lack anything in his life .and that scared him it hasn't even been a full day and his already making promises things were moving to fast and he didn't like it .
The boy's eyes lit up like stars at Draco's words he throw himself into a shocked Draco's arms and hugged his father tight. Draco stared at his mother with a plea asking what he should do, but the woman only looked at him with a knowing smile, which Draco hated. Draco's left hand went around the boy and his right hand went into the boy's hair.
His hair was long and hanging in his eyes just like it the hair was smooth but not silky like his it showed signs of stubbornness in it, maybe he got it from his mother's side.
I can't wait for my next birthday party, mom said when I turn five she was finally going to take me to diagon alley .i have never been there.
Scorpius darling how about sitting down and having your breakfast afterwards am sure your dad will play with and you can tell him all about your friends ,how does that sounds.
Really dad is going to play with me .really
Yes now come over here and have your breakfast .the little boy went around and sat next to his father as his grandmother placed a plate in front of his face filled with bacon, eggs ,toast and a chocolate muffin .
Mum never lets me have sweet stuff in the morning she says it's bad for me to have too much of chocolate.
And shes right too much sweets is not good for your teeth.
Draco sat on the sidelines watching the boy whose name he now knew as Scorpius ,that's the name he wanted to name his son if he ever had one , which led him to thinking who the boys mother could be , clearly it was someone he was close who knew him or maybe he let it slip ,many girls had asked him about kids and what not during pillow talk as they like to call it .just to get them out of his hair .something still bugged him the more he stared at the boy he started noticing something's that he knew he saw them in someone he knew he just couldn't pin point the name it was on the tip of his tongue who was it his sure he knows the girl who was it ….dad…who? Dad …it has to….DAD!
Draco was shocked out of his mind by the boy,who was looking at him with a questioning look .
Sorry buddy what were you saying I was kind of lost in thought back there,
Grandmam cissa was telling me that you used to play quidditch back at school and I was ,well my mum .i know am small and….Scorpius was scared that his father would say no just like his mother every time he asked him .
Draco looked at his mother whose face was now in-between witch weekly looking at the least fashion and what not . The boy was clearly trying to ask him something but was scared or maybe he knew he might say no, thus the reason behind his explaining about him being small which was really smart giving the cons and pros of why he needs whatever it is that he wants to ask for.
Listen Scorpius, the name felt foreign coming out of his mouth. You can tell me whatever it is you want ask for okay don't be scared.
Well I wanted to ask if you can teach me how to fly ,mum always says no whenever uncle harr…Scorpius posed as he realised he was about to say his uncles name ,Scorpius had already figured out that his father didn't know his mother that's why he avoided saying her name. though he didn't know why his father knew him but not his mom. while my uncle had asked my mom if he could start teaching me but she says it's too dangerous and that it doesn't make any sense ,but I really want to learn how to fly I saw my uncle fly once it was so cool grandmam cissa said you could teach me .I promise I will work really hard.
What kind of woman was his mother who did not allow him to fly sure he was small, hell I started flying at his age .Draco noticed his little slip about his uncle, the boy was smart and at every chance he avoided saying anyone's name , but let it slid by, he was too upset by the thought that his son ,yes he said it his son was not allowed to fly what kind of sick notion was that .it just wasn't right.
Well Scorpius it's a good thing I have not yet given you your present how about the next time am free I will take you to diagon alley and will get you a broom just for you, how does that sound ?
Scorpius was over the moon .really you would get me one.
Yes buddy I will get you anything that you want. Something bugged him about what he just said maybe he shouldn't have said anything, but he is new to this whole parenting thing.
His mother was looking at him with a disagreeing look on .the boy went on eating his breakfast sneaking a few looks up at Draco who caught him and he would look down and blush ,which was really odd and made him uncomfortable in his chair .
Ohm look Scorpius the peacock is back ,why not try and get it so spread its tail for you .said narcissi trying to have a talk with her son.
The little blond boy stood up from his chair and stared at his father one more time with a smile and ran towards the peacock.
So what is it mother?
Draco you cannot make promises like that to him, the mother must have a reason why she doesn't want her son flying so I would advise you not to do anything rush until we figure out who's his mother.
I know mother, I don't know what came over me .but am new to all this I still find it hard to believe that I have a son
The boy is really smart but I can tell he misses his mother, you will have to conceive him to tell you his mother's name and why he ran away that way we know where to go from there am sure the mother really misses him to.
A/N sweat drop this is harder then I thought .anyway don't forgot to review please
